Default Step bars and stock Rubi rails, Need suggestions!

I have a 2013 Rubicon. I'm looking for a set of step bars that possibly still utilize the stock Rubi rails I have. I notice on here some ACE bars that appear to still allow for the Rubi rails. Any suggestions?

I put the Ace rails on in June. I kept the stock Rubi rails on. Very easy to install. They work very well. I recommend them. Will post photo if you want.

You can tell that there are inconsistent bends in the tubing and bad cuts on the boards i dont think spider would claim that craftsmanship! #troll

Default i had them on my 11 sport

might even concider them again on my 12 rubicon ! they add weight and it depends they can be a bit of a in your way getting in and out !
I found if your not lifted up high then th er kinda a obstical to get in and out of the jeep but they look stout the washers have to be cut and that's a down fall unless you have acess to a grinder wheelAttachment 408831 this was my sport but you be the judge
I kinda miss them but when I had them they kinda annoyed me getting out go figure these were the ace ones for two door!

I bought a kit from Synergy (I think) to weld on steps. Was about$250, but they are all pre-cut and bent - I do not have the tools to do that. Took a day to weld on, but they are great as steps and side protection.
